Happy Friday!
First, sorry for the delay between updates. As I suspected, there is less to report each day, so the posts will become less frequent. But, in this case, no news is good news!
This week, Mike had 2 more PT appointments...Wed and this morning. While he didn't start the stationary bike as part of his therapy, he did get the "ok" from his orthopedic surgeon to flex his knee to 80 degrees - which is up from 60. As suspected, his PT added in some new exercises, and his PT appointment time is now 60 minutes per session, vs the previous 30 minutes. There is a chance he'll get on the bike next week, but as of today, the doctor still wants no weight bearing or pressure activities.
From everything Mike has heard, it sounds like he'll be getting his hand cast off on Monday! We are still uncertain if they will replace it with a soft cast, a splint, a wrap, or ??? I guess Monday will tell all! Either way, it appears as if Mike will then start the PT on his hand next week as well, not sure what day or how much, but it should be something. Mike is really just excited to get his cast off and to move his hand/wrist, even if it is just a tiny bit during PT.
He also has two follow up doctor appointments next week - one with the orthopedic surgeon (Mon), and the general trauma surgeon (Wed).
Now that all of his appointments are over for the week, Mike is looking forward to a weekend of relaxation. All of his activities and appointments tire him out, so right now, he's enjoying a relaxing Friday afternoon in his recliner!
I will continue to share information and updates as I have them, but expect the frequency to be less than it has been in the past couple of weeks.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
Love & Blessings,
karin
